What Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation Is About
Barak Goodman's 2019 documentary retells the Woodstock festival of 1969 fifty years later. Its choice is to show nobody speaking from the present: voices are heard while the image is made entirely of period footage. The account concentrates less on the musicians on stage than on the organisation and the crowd, describing how ticketing got away from them, the shortage of food and toilets, the rain and mud, the reaction of the neighbouring town and how half a million people spent three days without disaster. The film presents this as a kind of miracle and recalls the political background, the war in Vietnam and the fear of the draft. The celebratory tone is plain, and the festival's commercial side and its later unravelling are barely treated. Who it's for: viewers curious about music history and the sixties. Who it's not for: anyone wanting concert performance; the film is about the background rather than the stage.
